Nanma Properties

Nanma Properties is a Dubai-based off-plan property developer, registered with the Dubai Land Department and the UAE arm of a construction house established in 2012. It is currently building its first Dubai project, Nanma Lotus in Dubai South. The name comes from the Malayalam word for goodness — a nod to the Indian construction background its leadership comes from.

Yes. Nanma Properties is listed on the Dubai Land Department's register of approved developers, and its project is registered with an escrow account at a UAE bank, which is what Dubai law requires before off-plan homes can be sold. Payments go into that account rather than directly to the developer, and construction progress is inspected by RERA.

One project so far: Nanma Lotus, a six-storey building of 79 homes in Dubai South, near Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. It offers 38 studios and 41 two-bedroom apartments, with handover targeted for the first quarter of 2028.

Nanma Lotus is its first Dubai project and is currently under construction, with handover targeted for the first quarter of 2028. It is sold under a registered escrow account, so buyer payments go into that account rather than directly to the developer.

Yes. Nanma Properties is the UAE arm of the group, and presents its Dubai and Kochi offices side by side under the line "Two Nations. One philosophy." The company's leadership also runs the group's construction business in Kerala, India, which is where its building experience comes from.

Two things stand out. It publishes a live availability board showing every apartment in the building and whether it is still for sale — most developers release this only through agents. And it publishes a named specification, listing the actual brands used for air-conditioning, electrical fittings and smart locks, rather than the usual generic amenity list.
